In 1996, Binti Jua, an 8 year old female Gorilla, rescued a 3 year old boy who fell 25 feet into her enclosure and broke his hand. She carried him over to a service door and handed him over to the paramedics.

All I think about is Harambe...

Good thing Binti got to live a long full life

I remember seeing this playing on every station when it happened. It could have gone so much worse!

Must have been crazy to think about at the time!
